Poster: Keep Calm and Uphold the Masquerade

This poster meme hails from a poster designed by the British, but never actually published, during World War II. Keep Calm and Carry On was supposed to boost morale and clearly did a very good job at tapping into the national psyche.

It’s almost as if the poster or its designer had some Persuasion powers…

Perhaps that’s what deviant artist smmorela had in mind when they designed this alternative.
